How do you make a unit rate?

1 answer:

5 0

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.

This falls under geometry. The two labeled angles are congruent, which means the line segment between them (AD in the image) is a bisector of the angle at vertex A. Use the angle bisector theorem, which says that

$\dfrac{BD}{DC}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}\iff\dfrac{12}{(5+9x)-12}=\dfrac{15}{25}$

$\dfrac{12}{9x-7}=\dfrac35$

$20=9x-7$

$x=3$

Write 2.3181818... as a mixed number

JulsSmile [24]

Let x= 2.3181818...

then

10x=23.181818... and

1,000x=2,318.1818...

1,000x-10x=2,318.1818...-23.181818...

990x = 2,318 - 23
990x = 2295

x=2295/990

dividing by 5 both numerator and denominator:

x= 459/198

now, x= 198 + 198+ 63

so $x= 2\frac{63}{198}$

Answer: $x= 2\frac{63}{198}$
